Unfortunate news, the blacksmith wont appear until 6/1 at Lego shops or at shop at home. I am impatiently saddened. Thats also when all the new Harry Potter stuff comes out if you have any intrest.
ARRGGGHHH and sadly the blacksmith attack is not at my local TRU even though the mill and the carriage is. UGHH I am waiting for the Mill to be release on Amazon which reportedly in the States will be released in August.
Why the lag in the Blacksmith? That's the only one I wanted that I can afford right now... The mill is a bit pricey - will be a bit yet. Besides, I want to get a unit of troops equipped with those new weapons! Blah.
If we have a new and different advent calendar with the new blacksmith torso, we can fear that the blacksmith attack will be retired soon. But for the other sets, we can anticipate one more year of availability. On the other hand, none of the new sets are assumed as impulses, so we can expect to see them for at least one more year.

Pretty sure we won't be seeing a castle advent calendar this year and that the new sets will be out for a few years.
LEGO usually does two advent calendars a year, this year it's the City and Star Wars themes that were chosen for release, if you look @ Amazon's LEGO page the Star Wars Advent Calendar has been listed at the 'top seller' since it was made available a couple weeks ago (or thereabouts, I wasn't interested in buying one). So that means no Castle Advent Calendar this year. Hopefully we'll get one again NEXT year since Castle seems to have been every other year recently for Advent Calendars. With the overall quality and diversity of of sets for this years Kingdoms wave, I'm not going to complain about not having the Advent Calendar this year, we got some NICE sets that were NOT just walls or siege equipment (and were not jellybean knights either)........
